If you follow decor trends, either casually or extremely, you've almost certainly seen Anthropologie's gold-plated mirrors. Maybe you first noticed it through an influencer's home decor, a stylish friend's mirror selfie on Instagram, or Shay Mitchell's house tour. yeah. You've probably even tried to create an account yourself using his TikTok DIY account or his YouTube channel. Search for “Anthropologie Mirror dupe” on TikTok and you'll find nearly endless tips on how to recreate it or buy it cheaply.
The vintage-inspired “Gleaming Primrose Mirror” comes in four sizes and costs up to $1,598, well beyond the budget of many homeowners. If you want to step up your mirror game but don't want to blow through your savings, Aldi has a solution for you. It's Aldi's own version. Both gold mirrors have similar elegant decorations along the apex and edges, and a similar arched shape.
Although the decision applies to almost all decorative items, there are some differences with mirrors to keep in mind. Key differences in Aldi's favor: The Huntington Home Vintage Style Mirror at the Supermarket is about 3 feet tall and rings just 3 feet. $50. By comparison, Anthropologie's 3-foot mirror (the smallest size) costs $548. That being said, there are quality differences to consider. Anthropologie's mirrors boast “handcrafted resin, iron, engineered hardwood, (and) mirrored glass,” and “no two are exactly alike.”

No matter which mirror you choose, there are many fun ways to style it in your home. Hang it in your entryway to draw people in as soon as they walk into your home, or place it above your vanity for added style and functionality. You can add flowers to the shelf below it or let it stand alone as a focal point. You can pair it with other vintage items you find while thrifting, or add it to a modern-style room for an eclectic feel. Note: Large Anthropologie types are designed as floor mirrors (not hanging), so leaning them against a blank wall is the safest way to create an aesthetic effect.
This isn't the first time Aldi has offered a popular household item at a more cost-effective price point. Aldi also recently released its own versions of the TikTok-famous Stanley Tumbler and Le Creuset camo.
